October

Well the month sure has flown by.... I can't believe it's almost November. And the weather is starting to change. We were expected to get snow here today, but I was glad the weatherman was wrong. But this morning Lauren and I saw snow on a car in the parking lot, so it's coming soon......

Well I have felt that a lot of my recent pictures are only of football and soccer. And there have been plenty of other activities in our lives besides football and soccer. So for those of you who want to know what else we've been up to here's a list.

• We started out the month on a crazy note! I got locked out of the house. Not fun, and we won't discuss how it was all Felicia's fault. I'm just glad that my friend Michelle F, was home and came to help us out. (None of our neighbors were home, and Lauren had to go potty, and she was hungry, since it was lunch time.) Michelle also helped me, because we were tired of waiting for Felicia, and my car wouldn't start. So you should of seen Michelle and I try to jump my car. I thought Brad would of been proud, but I needed more than a jump, I needed a new battery. Crazy Car!!!


• Austin has decided he wants to give Basketball a try. So we've had evening of Open Gym, and parent meetings, and now practice.... Practice starts at 6:00AM, yes 6:00AM. I probably asked Austin 1000 times, if he was sure he wanted to do this, as Austin can't drive himself to school yet. I think it will work out for Brad to help take him in the mornings. His first game is October 28th.


• Austin also had a lock in at a church with one of his friends... It was at a Catholic Church, and they made Rosaries, for soldiers. Being as how Austin doesn't know what a Rosary is, I'm sure the Youth Group leader had fun explaining it.


• Austin is also actively participating in Student Council.  Along with volunteering his services, he enjoys volunteering me to help out with things.  For homecoming we baked about 300 cookies, and worked to decorate them.   

•  Colton has continued to do well with Football.  It's lots of fun to go to games.  And I have lots of pictures.   Their team has remained undefeated.  Until the playoffs..... They won their first game, and then were moved up a division.  And the second and third playoff games, didn't go in our favor.  They won their last game.   I volunteered to put together a slideshow, and wouldn't you know it my computer decided to crash.  

• Having a computer is what I have determined to be a necessary  evil.  In today's society it's hard to get by without one.  And when it crashes, I go through much agony.  I Just got my new computer, on Friday,  December 5th.  But, Brad has been working on putting new programs and getting it all set for my standards.  

• Lauren has had lots of fun and is adjusting to kindergarten still.  Her teachers tell me she is shy at school, but also mature.  She enjoyed her field trip to the pumpkin patch, and her Halloween Parade at school.    She finished up the soccer season with her team being undefeated.  She only scored one goal all season, but she played up, and was on the 1st grade team.
